Authoritie­s spend thousands in battle against roadside rubbish in Northland

● Susan Karels Talk to the principal of Whangaruru School about how his school - an Enviroscho­ol worked with WDC to combat this problem in the local community.

● Dallas Iosefo Not everyone can afford to pay the high dumping

fees at the refuse dump site ?

● Ryan Woodman Has the WDC ever thought that the cost of dumping rubbish at their re-sort centers contributi­ng to the illegal dumping of rubbish on the road sides? It seems that their answer is put the price up but all it is doing is making matters worse.

● Justin Fairlie The cost of rubbish disposal is ridiculous why is it so

expensive ?

● Carl Miller Councils should reduce the dump charges. Back in the day we paid for the dump in our rates. We probably still do but we pay at the dump as well.

● Gaylene Harrison Disgusting! Hate seeing our beautiful countrysid­e tarnished by garbage and old car wrecks.

● James Mcdonald Dump fees just to high I went with a trailer load and it was over $300 so I took it home and ordered a bin from northland waste was only $170 holds twice as much and they drop it off n pick it up

● Linda Sanford We are quick to jump on the backs of tourists and holidaymak­ers. How about we look after our own backyard too!
